"For more than three decades, Oregon has maintained strong protections for forest land. Statewide Planning Goal 4 – Forest Lands – calls for forest land to be conserved primarily for commercial timber production but also other forest uses."
What is forest land?
In broad terms, it is rural land that is being used or can be used for forest uses. Goal 4 defines forest land in part based on soil productivity for commercial forest use, as measured by the U.S. Forest Service in cubic foot site classes, and in part as land that is suitable for other, non-commercial forest uses, such as watershed protection, wildlife and fisheries habitat and recreation.
